Functionality
When scanning inbound items, the system checks two things:
- How do I consolidate units for a given logistics orders?
By default, units are consolidated on the same order based on matching destinations.
Note
To match against a destination, the scanned value must match the name of an address record in D365.
- Your creation strategy can further consolidate by destination per day or per destination activity (e.g., a logistics order is created when units are scanned on a different day or for a different inbound activity).
- Example 1: You unload units for a trailer (i.e., inbound activity). Immediately after, you begin unloading units for a different trailer and want to consolidate those units to a different order.
- Example 2: You unload units today and do not want to consolidate those with units unloaded on previous days.
- Do you have Position Assignment set up?
- If so, you can use Dock Management to scan items and put them into specified positions.
